Since 2002, the ever-growing SPASM short-film festival has been highlighting the efforts of local horror and science fiction filmmakers. And it’s returning this month to get you spooked just in time for Halloween.
Now in its 21st edition, this year’s festival, which officially kicks off on October 20 and runs until Halloween, will feature in-person showings of films from Quebec and the rest of the world.
SPASM was first classified as “amateur cinema,” but during its inaugural year, the quality of horror filmmaking was so surprising that the organizers decided to remove the “amateur” label for the next edition.

Festival passports range from $45 to $95.
